Protect Our Chief-Chapter 539 - 32: The Young Clan Leader’s Academy Life

...

Meanwhile.

In Wang Shouzhe’s small courtyard, two young and beautiful women were sitting in the pavilion, personally sewing clothes for the men in the family.

After a spring rain, everything in the courtyard seemed to have been washed clean, shedding its dust and becoming fresher. The lawn was a deeper green, and the flowers blooming on the branches were more delicate.

Yet, such spring scenery could not surpass the beauty of the women in the pavilion.

Among them, the leading woman wore a water-colored long dress, her figure graceful, and her temperament gentle and outstanding. It was none other than Mrs. Wang, Liua Ruolan.

As a Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator, she was approaching forty, yet still looked like someone in her early twenties, with her temperament unchanged.

On the stone table in front of her were several plates of fresh fruits.

She and the other beautiful young woman were sewing clothes skillfully while chatting about family affairs, occasionally picking up a piece of fruit to eat, truly at ease.

In the yard, two children, aged four or five, were chasing butterflies.

A toddler who just learned to walk was tottering behind the two "older kids," falling from time to time, yet not afraid of pain, getting up and patting his butt while babbling: "Sister~~ wait for me."

The two older children, a boy and a girl, among whom the girl was delicately pretty and lively, was Wang Shouzhe’s second legitimate daughter, Wang Liyue. The boy, slightly younger, was Wang Shicheng, the son of the second elder of the "Zong" generation——Wang Zongchang.

As for the little one still in open-crotch pants, stumbling around, it was Wang Shouzhe’s second son, Wang Zongrui.

The three children were having fun, playing rambunctiously.

This scene was like a long painting filled with the breath of life, worthy of the phrase "time stands still peacefully."

"Feifei, Shicheng is already four years old, isn’t he?" Liua Ruolan said while sewing, glancing at the beautiful young woman beside her with a smile, "You and Zongchang should work harder and have a couple more kids to add to the Wang Family."

"Aunt~" The young woman was embarrassed by her words, her pretty face turning red as she bowed her head, "Such, such things, how, how is there any hard work involved?"

The beautiful young woman was named "Liua Feifei," born of the direct line of the Shanyin Liu Family.

She married the then thirty-year-old Wang Zongchang at eighteen. It’s been over four years now, and even their child is running around. In terms of seniority, Liua Ruolan was her aunt of the same clan, and naturally, treated her more affectionately than others.

"What’s there to be shy about?" Liua Ruolan gave her a sideways look and said, "Your child is already four; what are you doing acting like a bashful young girl?"

"Aunt, no, no, it’s not that..." Liua Feifei bowed her head, her face blushing red, "The thing is, Zongchang has been busy on tasks in the Outer Domain recently. And even when he returns, he’s engrossed in cultivation... He’s not that enthusiastic about such things..."

"If he’s not enthusiastic, then you should be," Liua Ruolan said like a seasoned veteran, "Let him taste what’s sweet and crave you. Listen to me, when he returns from this mission, leave the kid here in my courtyard. Make a few dishes, get some wine, and have a nice couple’s night with him. Come, let me teach you some skills to keep your husband..."

Having said that, she began whispering to Liua Feifei, imparting some knowledge.

"Yes, Aunt..." Liua Feifei bit her lip lightly, her cheeks already blushing to the point of dripping blood.

She never imagined there were so many nuances to being a couple. The tricks aunt mentioned were truly... mortifying.

As the two were talking, Liua Ruolan suddenly arched her brows and smiled brightly: "Oh? Husband is back."

Her cultivation was deep, and her divine sense especially powerful, so she could naturally sense Wang Shouzhe’s approach from afar.

Sure enough, in a matter of moments, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and soon after, Wang Shouzhe entered with a group of children, big and small.

Liua Ruolan and Liua Feifei put down their work and went to greet him.

"Husband, it must have been exhausting for you~" Liua Ruolan greeted him with a lady’s salute.

Wang Shouzhe quickly returned the salute: "It’s you, wife, who bear the greater burden at home."

As the husband and wife exchanged greetings, the other younger ones also began to salute each other. Daughter Wang Liyue and son Wang Zongrui both rushed over, hugging Wang Shouzhe’s legs and acting spoilt.

Liua Ruolan then hurriedly instructed the kitchen to prepare a table of good dishes and wine to welcome her husband’s return and reward his hard work.

During this time, Wang Shouzhe set up a stance in the yard and began to test the children’s coursework.

Not long after, Wang Shouzhe was nodding frequently, his expression much more approachable.

These children’s coursework was solid, evident that the clan academy had been effective over the years. Unlike before, when every time Wang Shouzhe tested his younger siblings and nieces, he’d end up visibly upset.

However, even so, those little ones were still cautious and tense. After all, this was Fourth Uncle/Fourth Grandpa — who wouldn’t be afraid of him?

"Zongcai, you performed the best." Wang Shouzhe praised kindly, "You can be a role model for the younger ones."

"Yes, Fourth Uncle."

Wang Zongcai replied with a bow, very honest and obedient.

Hesitating slightly, he asked, "Fourth Uncle, what kind of place is the Commandery? Can I apply to go to the Commandery to help father? I’d like to broaden my horizons."
